The best part of the whole property is up on that balcony looking out. Maybe there’s a gin and tonic in hand, I don’t know. Check out the link to Nathan’s blog above, folks. He’s a talented dude showing em how it’s done in the 617.

Great to hear from you Tico. David, the homeowner, has listed the property for sale. He’s a true citizen of Norwell and this house and accompanying water tower will be a legacy for him. As for the water tower use, it’s wide open. Any thoughts? We added a 3/4 floor halfway up, which imo has added to the building’s charm. David’s putting electricity in as well.There have been rumors about the upper floor being used as a writer’s retreat in the past, and I can totally see that happening again. A hot tub might fit in there. where the water tank once stood. Maybe a pool table on the ground floor…or leave it somewhat spartan and let a kids’ imagination fill it in. It will be interesting to see how the new owners use the space.

Great to hear from you Linda! And much appreciated. It’s been a solid project with several hands on deck. Glad the homeowner had both vision and imagination to want to keep much of the historic fabric.
